"Failure Of Hitler's And Napoleon's Invasions Of Russia
This research paper compares and contrasts the invasions of Russia undertaken by the Grande Armee of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1812 and by the Wehrmacht of Adolf Hitler in 1941-1943. In both cases, the invasions were launched by dictators who had imposed their will on the European continent and sought to remove the last major continental obstacle to their imperial ambitions; however, Hitler's motivations were much more complex than Napoleon's and adversely affected German strategic planning.
Each of them achieved spectacular initial successes, owing to the striking power of their forces, the initiative of their commanders and the errors of their enemies, only to be forced to retreat eventually by the inherent difficulties of attempting to conquer Russia because of its immense expanse, its inhospitable..."

From the Paper
" Niccolo Machiavelli was a great thinker of the Renaissance who traveled all over Europe studying the political systems of governments. By working for people such as de Medici, Machiavelli developed a science of politics, which he felt should be implemented by the ruling class. In "The Prince," Machiavelli gives a clear and concise analysis of how a political leader might achieve power and maintain it. To succeed in both these areas, leaders must deal with reality pragmatically, even if it conflicts with their morality. Two political leaders who followed Machiavelli's ways to a large extent were Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler. Through these two examples one can evaluate how well Machiavelli's methodology works in the real world.
Machiavelli was loyal to the state and not to the Republic."

From the Paper
"History has often seen many a famous personality who has influenced the ways of the world leaving behind legacies that would ponder upon forever. Their acts no matter how trivial and insignificant have shaped the course of history and changed the destiny of many countries. They have in some manner or the other transformed the livelihood of their subjects and been a strong sense of inspiration combined with an unparalleled persona representing absolute power and total supremacy. Their identities are second to none and their campaigns building blocks of history. In their total might and valour, they were a force to reckon with. Often gifted with a magnificent charisma and an aura that has no equivalent, they reigned supreme and earned a rightful place in history."

"The careers of Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler were alike in a number of significant ways. First and foremost, they both sought to control and dominate Europe, and ultimately failed, though Hitler's failure was more devastating and spectacular, and Napoleon's was mixed with some positive effects. They were both obviously men driven by a powerful will to power, achieved that power, and made terrible mistakes which led to their downfall. Essentially, they both overreached themselves, not being able to recognize the limitations of their power, and failed because of that inability. Ironically, the specific disasters which spelled the end of their careers had to do with battles in winter against Russia..."
Still, there are important differences as well between the careers of the two men. As R.R. Palmer and Joel Colton write, for

Abstract
The paper shows that the careers of Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolph Hitler were alike in a number of significant ways. First and foremost, it shows that they both sought to control and dominate Europe and ultimately failed, though although Hitler's failure was more devastating and spectacular and Napoleon's was mixed with some positive effects. The paper shows that they were both driven by a powerful will to obtain power, achieved that power, and made terrible mistakes which led to their downfall. It shows that, ironically, the specific disasters which spelled the end of their careers had to do with battles in winter against Russia. The paper also shows the differences between the lives and careers of the two.
From the Paper
"Napoleon was trained as a soldier and leader, unlike Hitler. He led military victories long before he became Emperor. He ended inflation, not through war but through effective economic policy, and came to peace with the Church, instead of crushing religious influence as Hitler had done. He led major victories against every power on the Continent, except for Russia, which he attacked in 1812. That was the beginning of the end, for after retreating from Russia, he was faced with a coalition of several nations (as was Hitler) which defeated him in France, just as Hitler was finally defeated in Germany. Whereas Hitler killed himself, Napoleon abdicated unconditionally, in 1814."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and discusses the Bay of Pigs invasion, implemented and designed by President John F. Kennedy, and the impact this failed maneuver had on American foreign policy and on American-Soviet, as well as American-Cuban relations. The paper describes the attempted invasion, the Cuban response to the invasion, the events leading up to the invasion and why it represents one of the worst political disasters in recent U.S. history. The paper further discusses the political repercussions that followed the attempted invasion and its long-lasting impact on American-Cuban relations.
From the Paper
"On the morning of the invasion, it was reported that the exile forces, together with the CIA, had literally destroyed numerous locations, had landed in several provinces within Cuba, had freed thousands of political prisoners and had driven inland, practically dividing the whole country into two separate parts, not to mention placing the Cuban Navy in revolt. In reality, however, none of these claims were true, for the exile forces in the Bay of Pigs encountered immediate difficulties. For example, the location for the first assault was suppose to have been an isolated area, a good place for a surprise attack, yet the forces discovered a militia patrol which destroyed the element of surprise; the beachhead was suppose to be sandy and free of obstacles, yet many reefs were encountered which sank some of the boats. Worst of all, Castro's men were lying in wait just north of the original landing point. Much gunfire then erupted and the exile forces found themselves pinned down; to make matters worse, reports soon came in the Russian tanks were moving closer with every passing minute."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the U.S. led invasion of Iraq has invited a lot of controversy about the justification, legality and ethics of a ?pre-emptive? strike against a foreign government. It examines how although the U.S. government has justified it on several grounds, most countries in the rest of the world, notably France remain unconvinced. It looks at how the U.S. (and its coalition partners) justify the invasion of Iraq and compare it to the French position. It also analyzes the impact of the invasion on future international affairs.
Outline
U.S. Justification for the Invasion of Iraq
The Opposing (French) View Point
Analysis of the Two Positions
Tactless Diplomacy and Fear of American Power
The Real Agendas?
Impact of the Invasion on Future International Affairs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even after the end of the War in Iraq, the controversy about whether the invasion was justified continues unabated both inside and outside the United States. The reasons for the continuing debate are not hard to find. In the days before the war there had been unprecedented demonstrations all over the world by peace activists against the war. During debate at the United Nations, the French government had threatened to use its veto to defeat a resolution that sanctioned an invasion of Iraq. Most other European countries, except the UK, and including Russia had supported the French position. Gerhard Schroder even won the recent German elections on the basis of his opposition to the Iraq war. Perhaps the only countries of significance that supported the war were Britain and Israel, and even in Britain there was significant opposition to the war among the public."

Abstract
This paper explains the impact of the Mongol invasion of early 13th centre, end of Kievan Rus, and gradual reinforcement of a separate Ukrainian identity vis-a-vis Russia, Belorus, Baltic states, Poland. It discusses the nature of the Tatar administration and tribute system and the meaning of the Invasion in popular Ukrainian memory.
From the Paper
"The Mongol Invasion and Popular Memory in Ukraine. Introduction For four centuries, Ukraine suffered under Mongol rule. In the first half of the 13th century, Kievan Rus succumbed to an oppressive invader that was culturally dissimilar in an occupation that could never be fully assimilated. In the mid-17th century, the Ukrainian Cossack leader, Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky, threw off Mongol rule, towards a different Ukrainian future. Indeed, a substantial portion of this paper refers to the Cossacks' role in the entire region affected by Tatar influence, and their central role in the production of a distinct Ukrainian identity. "

Abstract
The U.S.- led invasion of Iraq has invited a lot of controversy about the justification, legality and ethics of a "pre-emptive" strike against a foreign government. Although the US government has justified it on several grounds, most countries in the rest of the world, notably France remain unconvinced. This paper examines how the U.S. (and its coalition partners) justify the invasion of Iraq and compares it to the French position. It also discusses the impact of this invasion on future international affairs.
From the Paper
"The main reasons given by the US government (and its main ally, Britain) are that Iraq and its regime under Saddam Hussain possessed weapons of mass destruction; that it has failed to co-operate fully with UN inspectors as called for by UN Security Council resolutions; that the regime has links to terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda, and that Saddam Hussain's regime posed "a clear and present danger" to the United States and the rest of the world if left unchallenged. It was implied that the regime was likely to provide weapons of mass destruction (including biological weapons) to terrorist organizations with devastating effect. The US government, therefore, felt justified in leading a "pre-emptive" strike on Iraq to find and destroy the weapons of mass destruction and to effect "a regime change."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 in order to defend its national and economic interests in the area. The paper examines the events that led up to the invasion and then explores the incident itself in detail. America's reaction to the invasion is analyzed.
From the Paper
"According to Ronald E. Dolan, when Japan joined fourteen other nations in 1928 in signing the Kellogg-Briand Act which "denounced recourse to war for the solution of international controversies," it was a foregone conclusion that Japan would inevitably invade Manchuria in order to "defend its national and economic interests" in the area. 1 In response to this invasion in 1931, the League of Nations, set up after World War I through President Woodrow Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles, "issued a report condemning Japanese aggression" which prompted Japan to withdraw "from the League, thereby further heightening world tensions." 2 Not surprisingly, America's response to the invasion of Manchuria was typical of the time, for many American citizens and government officials were highly concerned that American interests in the area would lead to all-out war between Japan and the Western powers, not to mention the prevailing attitude among some Americans for an isolationist policy, i.e. complete separation from other nations in the context of disputes and military actions."

It was implied that the regime was likely to provide weapons of mass destruction (including biological weapons) to terrorist organizations with devastating effect. The US government, therefore, felt justified in leading a ?pre-emptive? strike on Iraq to find and destroy the weapons of mass destruction and to effect ?a regime change.? "

Abstract
This paper discusses an individual's right to privacy and the results of an invasion of that right. It specifically discusses a tort with regards to invasion of privacy. The paper analyzes the two basic elements that occur with invasion of privacy - the fact that the individual's right to privacy is invaded and the resulting damage that occurs as a result.
From the Paper
"The right of privacy in the private sector has taken on a whole new dimension since the times of Justice Brandies with the advent of the internet, email, YouTube and the myriad of personal blogs raise the specter of anyone becoming a world-wide celebrity. If you doubt the power of the internet to create celebrities out of the ordinary person, recall the "numa numa" phenomenon, the portly college lip syncing into his computer became an overnight celebrity via viral video. This was voluntarily placed on the internet, the repercussions of instant involuntary notoriety where unimagined in the late 19th century when the right of privacy was first put forward by Justice Brandies. There are many personal issues that individuals wish to keep private, and the vast amount of case law regarding all four aspects of invasion of privacy needs to be kept in context of the modern era of the internet, AIDS and the 24 hour cable news station."

Invasion of Privacy, 2002.
Based on a survey, this paper shows that governmental invasion of privacy is a major concern among Americans.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper seeks to determine how Americans (as opposed to popular culture and the media) feel about governmental invasion of privacy, and to sort responses in terms of gender, political affiliation and age. Done through a survey of 1800 respondents in three age groups (18-34, 35-64, 65+), the answers are tabulated and compared. The results show that younger people are more concerned than older people, women more concerned than men, and Democrats more concerned than Republicans. In all, 75% of Americans are very concerned with the invasion of their privacy. This indicates a serious lack of communication and responsiveness between the government?s behavior and the people?s concerns.
From the Paper
"Before the September 11th terrorist attacks, those among the American people who were concerned about governmental invasion of privacy were relatively soft spoken, and tended towards extremist edges. Certainly, no one was fond of the degree to which the IRS kept an eye on their business, and especially among lower-class and minority factions, there was a deal of foment concerning unwarranted search-and-seizure on suspicion of drug charges and various other matters. However, in general, most Americans didn?t notice the degree to which their lives were supervised. After September 11th, the supervision took a much harder edge. The Patriot Act was passed allowing the government supposedly unprecedented powers to conduct searches, wiretaps, random background checks, and other security procedures against common civilians. (As a matter of historical accuracy, similar wartime measures have been undertaken on occasion in American history, though not within the memory of the current generation) Concern for the privacy of individuals became of much greater concern in the publications of fringe groups, such as ultra-liberal ?Mother Jones? and ultra-conservative ?The World.? However, the concern over individual privacy appears very seldom in mainstream non-fictional media (no one can seriously consider such shows as X-files to represent the general media consensus on government activity)."
